780 Baby Gu Reporting For Duty (1)
At the hospital, Gu Shaoting imdiately carried Shu Pan into the ergency room. He waited outside for ten minutes until the doctor on duty ca out and said, "Sir, your wife is about to give birth. Please prepare the necessary items for delivery."
Gu Shaoting was montarily stunned, finding it a bit hard to react. Though they had been anticipating this mont every day, the reality of it happening now felt sowhat unbelievable. He spaced out for a mont, only coming back to himself when the doctor repeated the instructions. He nodded, "Alright, everything is prepared. Thank you, Doctor."
"Okay, she's experiencing so contractions now and is dilated to one centiter. It might not be too soon yet. We'll move her to the delivery room now," the doctor explained.
Shu Pan was quickly wheeled out, her brows furrowed in pain. She stared at Gu Shaoting, clearly a bit frightened. "Honey, it's happening, but I'm not ntally prepared."
Gu Shaoting held her hand tightly, accompanying her to the maternity ward.
Inside the delivery room, Shu Pan gripped Gu Shaoting's hand tightly. The pain was intensifying, and sweat was starting to bead on her forehead, but she remained strong. Not wanting to worry Gu Shaoting, she refrained from making too much noise. Gu Shaoting, about to beco a father imminently, felt both worried and nervous.
Glancing at him, Shu Pan noticed that he looked even more pale than herself. She realized he must have been frightened too. So she cald herself down and comforted him, "It's okay, it was the sa when I gave birth to Joy. They say the second one is easier."
Bringing up Joy was a mixed bag of emotions for Shu Pan. Thinking back to that ti when she was all alone, enduring the pain, Gu Shaoting felt both pity and guilt.
Shu Pan endured the pain throughout the night. In the morning, Ye Xiaong, who had heard the news of Shu Pan giving birth, rushed over. Seeing Shu Pan sweating profusely with red eyes, Ye Xiaong's heart ached. "Girl, hang in there, you can do it."
Shu Pan weakly smiled, "Yeah."
Her appearance was truly heart-wrenching.
Half an hour later, Song Can arrived. Shu Pan was feeling exhausted and weak from the pain. Everyone took turns encouraging her, and after a while, around noon, Shu Pan felt numb and drowsy. Suddenly, the doctor ca in and announced that it was almost ti to move to the delivery room.
Shu Pan suddenly felt scared. Even though she had given birth once before, the scene was still vivid in her mind.
She tightly gripped Gu Shaoting's hand, as if afraid he might run away.
"Don't be afraid. I'll accompany you to the delivery room," Gu Shaoting reassured her. "I'll go change into sterile clothing now."
Shu Pan was about to nod when she suddenly shook her head vigorously. "No, I don't want you to co in with ."
She could imagine how ugly and ssy she would look during childbirth. She didn't want to scare him or herself. She had heard that n who accompany their wives to the delivery room might be traumatized afterward.
"Honey, it's okay. Let accompany you," Gu Shaoting understood her concerns and tried to reassure her.
But Shu Pan continued shaking her head vigorously. Then she looked at Ye Xiaong with a pleading expression. "How about letting Xiaong accompany instead?"
"Okay, I'll go with you," Ye Xiaong readily agreed.
...
Not long after, Shu Pan was wheeled into the delivery room. Gu Shaoting paced anxiously outside, feeling restless. He reached into his pockets, only to find them empty. He would've definitely smoked a couple of cigarettes if smoking was allowed in the hospital.
Seeing him pacing back and forth, Song Can frowned. "Shaoting, Shu Pan just went in. It probably won't happen so quickly. Can you sit down and wait?"
